a charismatic new country, pop artist with powerful vocals and fashionable looks. One of those special talents that has a voice of great range and beauty that can cover the best of the female talents of today and yesteryear. Kalysta loves to sing songs sung by Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Celine Dion, Martina McBride, Adele, Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss just to mention a few. Kalysta performs either solo or with a band. She has just signed a record deal with Spotlight Records and a management agreement with Kidder Entertainment. She turned 21 in January and is a veteran entertainer performing throughout the Midwest and Southeast areas in the USA.
Kalysta was an amazing performer at our 2023 Friday Night Bandstand. Her energy and vocals got the crowd up and dancing the whole evening.
She has a fantastic voice! Only things that would have made it better was turning the sound down a little and if she sang more classic country.
Response from Kalysta Minton:
Thank you Jamie. Greatly appreciated.
She's a great singer. Many residents and staff members complimented her ability. We'd love to have her back. The only suggestions I have are that the sound be just a bit lower and that maybe throw in a few more classic country tracks. Thanks to Kalysta and her team!
Very talented
Response from Kalysta Minton:
I love working in the studio and this was a lot of fun. I am currently in a studio near Nashville preparing my debut Extended Play of 5 songs to be released this summer. Hope everybody gets a copy! Loved working with you Mr. Sweeney. Thank you for the review and the opportunity.
I've watched Kalysta go from a raw talent to a very talented singer. She has been performing at my karaoke show at Walton Ky's El Toro Restaurant for many years. It is always a pleasure to have he come to one of my shows. I have seen her improve greatly over the years and look forward to her future success!

Bio of Kalysta Minton
When you listen to Kalysta, you hear a young lady singing with her heart and who can sing a ballad and take on the biggest country song with ease. This year, she will knock on Country Music’s door and walk right in to take a step up the charts.
Kalysta was raised in Kentucky and loved to sing for anyone who wanted to listen. She would sing at any shows her mom and dad would arrange. Taking the stage, she found it easier each show to let her fears go and relax to enjoy what she was doing. It was at one of those shows she met James Bruce, a veteran talent manager with over 35 years’ experience. Jim is her current manager for Kidder Entertainment.
George Kidder and Bruce stood listening to Kalysta and knew this young lady needed to be on bigger stages than the one she was on. Everyone agreed Minton had the talent to move on and sing on bigger stages. Country Music was the genre Kalysta wanted to sing. She knew how to put heart in songs and kick the country butt on songs that needed a little rock to the music.
Kalysta has performed at various shows and events all over eastern part of the USA for the last several years. She has sung at many fairs, festivals, and music venues including the Clinton County Fair, Brown County Fair, Clermont County Fair, Starbrick Music Festival, The Famous Murphy Theater and has appeared on Channel 4 News in Nashville, Tennessee! Kalysta has also performed at the famous Horse Drawn Carriage Parade in Lebanon, Ohio, the Rising Star Casino in Rising Sun, Indiana, and the famous Tootsies Lounge in Nashville. Other accomplishments include a performance at Cincinnati's Famous Dinner Club, Jim n Jacks on The River, and entertained at the Community Arts Theatre, Fairfield, Ohio, for their 60th Anniversary of the city.
When Kalysta was ready to record her first song, James Bruce arranged a meeting with John Pineiro, owner of Perfect Image Recording. After hearing Kalysta, John showed interest in Minton and wanted to be part of her country music career. Her performances are now backed by a band of 4 musicians from Nashville, Tennessee. John hand-picked the musicians for her band and has also recorded eight songs for Kalysta’s debut CD. Red Ridge Entertainment of Nashville, also introduced by James Bruce, produced 3 of her songs on the current cd. Spotlight Records, a record label owned by James Bruce for over 30 years signed Kalysta to a recording contract in August of 2021. Currently, Kalysta has signed a management agreement with Kidder Entertainment which will take over the booking responsibilities and oversee her career.
No special requires just need of 220 power outlets to hook up Professional PA system.
